“We are so grateful she was able to do a drop-in for us on such short notice. From the beginning, her communication was excellent and she kept us updated the entire time with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. She handled our Doberman’s energy so well and truly went above and beyond during the visit. It was clear she was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared. We felt completely comfortable knowing our girl was in such good hands. We will absolutely be booking with her again! ❤️”
“Dan was great and went over and above to make sure my dog was well taken care of and that both my dog and my son were safe during hurricane Milton when I was out of town. I highly recommend Dan and trust him with my Auggie!”
About: I grew up always having at least one pet. The first chore I was ever assigned was actually taking care of our cat and dog (at the time) and I did that for a while. Around middle school I started dog-sitting for my parents and I’ve been doing that for quite some time now. I’ve never met an animal (that isn’t super skittish) that doesn’t love or at the very least ‘tolerate’ me. My dogs will follow me around the house or sometimes paw/bark at my door just to see me. Even when it comes to skittish animals (especially cats) they usually warm up to me very quickly. My grandma’s stray rescue cat is petrified of everyone but my grandma. After a week of staying over at my grandma’s she would walk up to me on her own and even sit in my lap. I’m free almost 24/7 except when I’m asleep. I’m currently searching for a job hence the very flexible schedule. I don’t mind late night visits or early morning, my sleep schedule is just as flexible if not more. I respect animals the same way you would people, although we don’t have verbal communication it’s very easy to tell what an animal is feeling based on their body language. I can be stern and assertive without being overly aggressive or anything of that sort. Additionally, I am very respectful of others spaces and homes. I believe heavily in treat others how you want to be treated, so I behave as such and I think that reflects in my pet-care and work ethic
“Jackalyn is an excellent pet sitter. She took care of our cat while we spent time at the beach. Not only did she make sure our cat was fed, but she also played with her, opened and closed the window blinds for her, and even brushed her. On top of that, she fed our fish and managed the aquarium light schedule in the morning and evening. Jackalyn demonstrated a genuine love for animals and consistently went above and beyond in caring for our pets. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“I’m very pleased to have found Caitlyn to help with my 3 kitties. One requires an inhaler, which is not easy to administer since he hates it, but she was very patient with him making sure he got the treatment he needs. My cats can be shy, but I can tell from the pictures that they enjoyed Caitlyn’s company. I’m grateful to have someone I can trust to help with my sweet boys!”
“Shirley is the best!! She always goes above and beyond for my senior dog making sure he is okay when I have to go out of town. She is so great with Hank - attentive, caring, loving. Everything you hope for when trusting someone to care for your pet when you have to leave town!!”
“Katy is ABSOLUTELY amazing! She is everything you want in a caregiver for your fur baby!! She is thorough, thoughtful, caring and extremely respectful and responsible. I highly recommend Katy!!”
“Victoria is a wonderful cat sitter. She checked in exactly when we asked and spent time with our senior cat. We had to add medication in between booking and the visit and Victoria was willing and able to help us with that. We will 100% be using her again in the future.”
“Great response time. Was able to book Michelle a week in advance (I’m a serious procrastinator), she sent me numerous photos of my pups and kept me informed. Will definitely use for our next vacation.”
“The communication and caring in every aspect of the care of my pets was amazing. I was able to leave them in his care with confidence. So very much appreciated.”

“Peter was great with our two cats. He sent photos and was able to adapt to their prescription dietary needs. We also had a few packages delivered while we were gone and he brought them in! Would recommend.”
About: Caring for pets has always been a part of my life! I’ve grown up with dogs at home and have looked after them with love and responsibility.

I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently not working a traditional job, which allows me to have the time and flexibility to care for pets with love and attention. I’m looking for a job that brings me joy and purpose, while still giving me the freedom to be there for my family. When I care for pets in their own home, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any special needs they may have. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and never alone. I also like to keep pet parents updated with photos and messages, so they can feel at ease knowing their furry friend is in good hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Mary
Zach did an amazing job taking care of our two Golden Retrievers and cat while our regular Rover sitter was on vacation. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he genuinely loves animals, and that really showed in the way he cared for our dogs and cat. He was incredibly energetic, giving them plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime, while also making sure they stayed on their normal routine. Zach was extremely thorough with every aspect of their care, and his communication and updates gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It's not easy trusting someone new with your pets, but he exceeded our expectations in every way. We came home to two happy, well cared for pets, and we wouldn't hesitate to book him again. We highly recommend Zach to anyone looking for someone who is caring, dependable, and truly passionate about animals!
We recently had Victoria take care of our dog, Ramona, for a few days, and we couldn’t be happier with her service. She was wonderful and always attentive and caring. We loved how she sent us pictures every day, which really put our minds at ease since we don’t like being away from Ramona. Ramona looked happy and comfortable in every update and had lots of fun. It’s clear that Victoria truly loves animals and treats them like her own. We highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog sitter!
I cannot say enough about how wonderful Catherine is - my cat Max loves her, and she is simply amazing with him. She always gives him so much attention and affection when she is caring for him. I love getting the pictures, notes and updates each time she drops in to care for him. He was comfortable around her from day one ; I have had her look after my fur baby several times already and I will be rebooking with her again. Thank you, Catherine.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lake Mary stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Mary. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
